 Playing with Fire looks like a family movie relic from the early 2000s that will be overshadowed completely by Frozen 2 opening just two weeks later).

It looks like Playing for Keeps and Instant Family. Could do ok.

For the books, Maleficent 2 has 1 show time at my theater so far. It has sold 3 seats.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-34 and Counting

I don't have any comps for the time being (the only option I have is It 2, which...lol. The number's 1.6M btw). However, I do think this is a very mediocre start. Only a few theaters have actually sold anything, and three of them barely got into the double digits. Of course, it's more than a month away, so this is not a death sentence. But this should give some people pause.

LOL. As it turns out, starting ticket sales for a no1curr movie doesn't give any exciting results. Of course, this isn't something to take very seriously, but might as well post it for the time being.

 

Should also mention that I might drop this movie. My own threshold is if tracking or BOP is suggesting a 40M OW is possible. At this point. Unfortunately, I won't know about that stuff until next week. I personally don't see it opening to 40M+, but might as well track it for the fun. But if BOP's range doesn't have 40M as a possibility, I'll just scrap it. I've got enough films to look at as is.

Isn’t Mal2 below 40 on BOP?

I guess I should specify I'm talking about range. Mal2's at 30-50M according to BOP, so it's fair game to me

There is no reason why Maleficent should have great pre-sales a month out. I still see it as a $45-50 million opener (Down 30% from the first one) once Disney marketing kicks in..

I believe you have Hobbs and Shaw numbers that far out, no?  I was actually thinking it might not be a completely horrible comp given it has the exact number of pre-sales days (it also started at T-34) and shouldn't have many sales at first.  Also being a long delayed sequel could be somewhat analogous to to H&S's spinoff nature.

 

I was toying with doing a super quick look in Sacto in a couple of hours and compare it to the H&S number I have on hand.

I only have H&S up to day 31. H&S' presales started while Pulse was shut down, and I was in a waiting period, hoping Pulse would come back (still bitter!)

Ah, must have misremembered. Fair enuf.   Maybe I'll go ahead and do a one day check for shits-and-giggles anyway then.  I'll see how I feel around 10pm.

It's not like I check the Fandango app each and every time there's an update on my iPad. No siree. That would be silly. 

 

*cough* 

[filmlover]

Been feeling Maleficent 2 is headed for a run similar to Lego Movie 2 for a while now, given the five year gap between the originals and the sequels.

[Porthos]

Took a quick spin around Sacto and I think I'll hold off tracking it for now. I'll take another look closer to release to see where it's at.

 

Right now it's sold 47 tickets region wide, which would make it 85.45% of Hobbs and Shaw 's first day of sales (comping to 4.96m).  

 

Didn't do a full seat count where I recorded the seat information of every theater, so no fancy chart. But, maybe about expected? Especially for something nearly five weeks out?  More or less in line what I was expecting at least.

Pretty slow pace right now, but Hustlers sold 18 at the same point of presales. I don’t expect Downton Abbey to continue beating Hustlers though.

Looks like you didn’t look close enough. It’s actually “Downton Abbey” 😂

Yeah, I was just coming to edit it back.  It's a really crazy name that always trips me up. 👍

 

At least I know not to call it Downtown anymore.  After that, it's about a 50/50 chance of remembering it right,
